Hey everyone, I saw that Junji Ito is working with Dead By Daylight to drop a new set of horror skins. The skins are set to release on January 7th and I’m really curious how Junji himself will react to them. I haven’t really checked out Junji’s work yet, but it looks like the game developers nailed it with this project. In particular, the first, second, and fourth skins caught my eye. What do you all think of this collaboration?
My take: This collab could be a neat bridge between horror design and gameplay. It might make some skeptics check out Junji Ito’s art. We’ll see how it hits.
I’m usually pretty skeptical about overhyped hype but this collab has me intrigued. I’ve been a Dead By Daylight addict for a while and the idea of mixing in some of Junji Ito’s disturbing art really shakes things up. I haven’t dived into Ito’s work myself, but seeing these skins makes me want to check out his stuff. They seem to capture that uneasy, almost surreal horror vibe he’s known for. I’m curious how he’d feel about his creations being turned into gaming aesthetics. It could be a cool crossover if it highlights his style without glossing over the creep factor his work is famous for. In any case, it’s bound to spark some interesting conversations among both horror fans and gamers.
Man, honestly I can’t wait to see what these skins bring to the table. I’m a big fan of both DBD’s spooky mechanics and Junji Ito’s style even though I haven’t picked up his work too deep. These skins really seem to capture that unsettling vibe he’s known for. I mean, they already look like they could add a whole new layer of creepiness to matches. It makes you wonder how Junji himself might look at these replications of his iconic images, like he’d either be totally flattered or maybe a bit mystified by the whole concept. Either way, it’s cool to see the gaming world mixing up with classic horror art. If you enjoy games that keep your heart racing and make you appreciate a good piece of art, this collab might just be the thing for you.
I wasn’t expecting to be this pumped about a skins set, but there’s something about melding Ito’s eerie vibes with DBD’s relentless horror that really hooks me. Seeing those textures and designs is like a fresh jolt of fear that feels both nostalgic and new. I imagine Junji himself might be amused by gamers obsessing over every little detail of his artwork, even if it’s just his style in a different medium. It’s a clever move that could draw folks into exploring his original work, and honestly, it adds a deeper layer to the game’s atmosphere. I’m definitely interested to see if the skins keep that raw, bone-chilling edge of his art without losing the playful unpredictability that makes DBD so unique.
The collab seems like it could really amplify DBD’s creep factor. I like the idea of merging his signature eeriness with game thrills.
